Happy Black History Month! Today I am thinking about the brilliant anthropologist and writer Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), who said, "If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." Recommended: Their Eyes Were Watching God; Barracoon; (cont'd)

Find us a camera. You know we’ll be watching.
Texas A&M needs a live feed of @AggieVolleyball team gathered on Saturday to watch the Aggie football game and cut to it on the Jumbotron and let 109K standup and cheer them and wish them luck going into Sunday. Would be awesome!

Loved this piece when I read it back in August, and had the recent pleasure of rereading @IndyMonthly while waiting at the orthodontist. Here's @Noraleona's ode to CYO kickball in Indianapolis (Go St. Lawrence Rams!) indianapolismonthly.com/feat…

The arena will be adjacent to the Moody Center and also include student-athlete housing.
